Homemade Butter



At the camp I go to, we cook and make a LOT of food. One of the most simple recipes, was homemade butter. I really recommend this recipe because it is easy to make, but it still tastes fresh and amazing.  So, if you're looking for a topping for bread, or something else, give this recipe a try.


Ingredients and Supplies



1 mason jar (or any container with a tight lid)

2 cups of heavy cream 

2 good arms to shake!!!!


Instructions

Pour 2 cups of heavy cream into your jar. Secure the lid very tightly so the cream does not go everywhere. Start shaking the jar hard, and do NOT stop shaking.   In about 5 minutes the butter might feel ready, but still keep shaking. In maybe 5 more minutes it should be ready. Put your butter in a bowl. You should squeeze the excess buttermilk out with a rubber spatula before eating. The next step is DIG IN!!!!!!!!!!

-whole recipe takes about 10 minutes

Cactus Friends!


If you want to know an adorable toy to play with -- or just look at -- I have the best recommendation ever for you. I discovered these Cactus Friends at a Barnes & Noble in New York City. I found one that was a pig and I immediately fell in love. You must be wondering what they are. They are these plastic toys that have spiky shells on them. They're by the brand Tokidoki, which has an awesome website you can check out. I collect these toys because they're fun to play with, and come with fun things to read on the box. These awesome friends of mine are so cool I take them everywhere with me. So if you are interested in spiky, fun and adorable toys for this summer, click here to buy these on amazon.

There are so many reasons I would start a blog. This time however, I thought I would try something new. I think of this blog as a list of awesome ideas for every occasion, like books, toys, recipes, a clothing guide, and so much more. Maybe you can look at it when you need a gift for your best friend's birthday, or a pair of cool sandals for the summer. Either way, I hope you can take a second to read my blog and use it to find fun ways to fill your days.
